When Alex Jones and other right-wingers talks about “Globalists," their go-to’s are Henry Kissinger and George Soros. Alex Jones and others never mention, say, the Koch brothers or Robert Mercer.
In February of 2017, Alex Jones said that Obama was “recruiting with (George) Soros an army for a Bolshevik-style revolution.”
At the recent joint press conference between Vladimir Putin and his little bitch Donald Trump, Putin mentioned George Soros’ name, adding to Trump’s claim that he trusted Putin more than American intelligence:
“The Concord company is being accused of interference but this company does not institute the Russia state, does not represent the Russia state, and I brought several examples before. You have a lot of individuals in the United States—take George Soros, for instance, with multi-billion capitals—but it doesn’t make his position, his posture, the posture of the United States.”
This gave right-wingers like Alex Jones a boner, not getting the irony that this is coming from the guy who meddled in our democratic process.
Jack Posobiec who promoted “Pizzagate” went to Twitter to write “Raise your hand if you agree it’s time to investigate George Soros.”
Rational people can laugh at this obsession with George Soros, but this largely anti-Semitic viewpoint has implications that extend beyond the United States, and into Europe.
Viktor Orban’s Hungarian Government has passed a set of laws known as the “Stop Soros” plan, because the law will target organizations that are funded by George Soros, organizations that aid people refugees and migrants. Part of the law states “Those who provide financial means … or conduct this organisational activity on a regular basis will be punishable with up to one year in prison.”
Speaking to a crowd of foreign policy experts in Paris, George Soros said:
“The whole of Europe has been disrupted by the refugee crisis. Unscrupulous leaders have exploited it even in countries that have accepted hardly any refugees. In Hungary, Victor Orbán based his re-election campaign on falsely accusing me of planning to flood Europe, Hungary included, with Muslim refugees.”
The right, but especially the Religious Right like Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Even though he’s dismantling the countries judiciary system, and turning their free press into state news. All that’s fine to the International Organization for the Family and World Congress of Families, because Orban has declared, “we must defend Christian culture.”
